Copied from thread on dog snatched.
Please see the procedure below for dealing with nuisance wildlife. I think you are misinformed about shooting it yourself, but will find out tomorrow. I agree there is a pack. I was told that when one is taken, the rest often go away, but Hope they set traps in several locations.

I agree, Suz...
I did some research...

Coyotes are listed as nuisance wildlife with Fish and Wildlife and can be trapped for a fee of $75, I was told by a local trapper who takes nuisance gators here.
With 3 animals taken by an apparent nuisance carnivore, I think we should take action. The best I can determine after ofc hours, is that Dave Burgess, VCDD Property Mgt, is the go to guy to make a complaint.

I know there is a history of both wild hogs and gators being removed from TV.
Below is contact info for Burgess. I hope those of you with first hand info will call or email him.

Phone 352-753-4508, please! Or use email in this website:

And please post any future sightings to this thread or start another one.
